China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 115

Monday, May 12.

I don’t know if it’s because the first week’s data was too fierce, overdrafting part of the future box office. On Monday, the box office data of “Tang Tan” fell off a cliff, only 5276 million, which was nearly half compared to the previous day.

As early as last weekend, Guangguang’s publicity and distribution team discussed with Gu Wei, and wanted him to hold several film sales in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, and Shenzhen, the four largest ticket warehouses for domestic movies, in the second week. A fan meeting.

Using Gu Wei's fame to boost the box office again, after all, the main box office results of a movie came out in the first two weeks.

After these two weeks, you can basically lie flat, and the rest depends on the mood of the audience, waiting for the box office to flow steadily, and finally to be released.

Gu Wei didn't object, and he accepted the opinions given by professionals with an open mind, although he would work a little harder himself, making money, this is nothing.

On the 16th, Feng Xiaogang's movie "Private Order" held a grand premiere in Beijing.

With Huayi's influence in the film and television industry, and Feng Xiaogang's reputation as a great director, celebrities from all walks of life gathered together, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.

In particular, Feng Xiaogang is also the chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala, and he is even more sought after by people. You must know that it is the Spring Festival Gala, the most exposed platform in China.

How many entertainers and singers have become well-known stars because of their appearance in the Spring Festival Gala.

The most recent example is Xiao Shenyang, who became popular last year, just because he was brought to the Spring Festival Gala by his master Zhao Benshan and collaborated in a sketch.

From an ordinary duo to an actor overnight, he became a popular comedy star, and even became the leading actor in Zhang Yimou's movie in the second year.

It can be seen that the Spring Festival Gala has a great influence.

It's a pity that these have nothing to do with Gu Wei, at the moment he is still running around several major movie theaters in the capital according to Guangguang's plan.

Everywhere he went, Gu Wei would be warmly welcomed by fans. His itinerary was arranged in advance and posted on the Internet.

The theaters we go to will also make publicity in advance.

The theaters welcomed Gu Wei's arrival very much. This was not only beneficial to the box office of "Tang Detective", but also attracted a huge amount of popularity to the theater.

After running for a whole day without any free time, Gu Wei had no time to rest, so Gu Wei had to take the evening flight to Shanghai, and there was another day of activities there tomorrow.

After a short rest on the plane, it was already late at night when we arrived in Shanghai.

The group arrived at the hotel where they were staying to rest.

Early the next morning, Gu Wei got up early. Although it was only a short night, his young and strong body made him return to an energetic state.

After a brief wash and tidying up, I was about to go downstairs for dinner.

The phone rang, and Gu Wei picked it up to see that it was Yang Liwen calling.

"Sister Yang, good morning~"

Gu Wei is in a good mood.

"Eh~ Good morning, Mr. Gu." Yang Liwen's tone was slightly hesitant.

"What's the matter, Sister Yang, I called early in the morning."

"Mr. Gu, at the premiere of [Private Order] yesterday, Feng Xiaogang fired again, this time it's about us."

"Called me? It shouldn't be, I have never had any grudges against him."

Gu Wei was a little puzzled.

"Mr. Gu, if you read the news online, you will definitely ask about this when you meet the media today. You should be prepared when the time comes."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Wei searched the Internet.

#冯晓田 bombarded newcomer directors, saying that comedy still depends on oneself! #
#冯晓钢’s new movie [Private Order] has a target of one billion, and wants to compete with [Detective Chinatown]. #
As soon as I opened Weibo, there were two hot searches.

Don't worry, the title is very bluffing. If you don't know it, you may think that director Feng Da is going to fight with Gu Wei.

Click in and have a look.

Good guy, it's all title party.

Looking bluffing, the content inside is not like that at all.

At the premiere of "Private Customization" yesterday, when the reporter asked Feng Xiaogang what the expected box office of the movie was, Feng Xiaogang didn't give a positive answer, but the people from Huayi responded, hoping that the box office could reach 10 billion.

So a reporter who didn't think it was a big deal asked Feng Xiaogang if he wanted to fight Gu Wei's "Detective Chinatown", because it was also a comedy movie, and the goal of "Detective Tang" was one billion.

Now Feng Xiaogang was upset, but he just said that he didn't know Gu Wei, and he hadn't watched "Detective Chinatown".

However, he is confident that in the field of comedy movies, no one in China can surpass him.If you want to watch domestic comedies, you have to watch his Feng Xiaogang movies.

According to the whole news, Feng Xiaogang did not say anything derogatory about Gu Wei, but his intention to hype it up was also clear.

It's hard to say whether Huayi envoys are involved in these two trending searches on Weibo.

Feng Xiaogang is a successful commercial director, he is well versed in hype.

As long as you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that whenever his movies are released, there will always be some news.

Contradictions with the actors, scolding the audience, scolding the reporter and so on.

You think he has a bad temper, but these are not a means of his hype. When the movie becomes popular, he loses his temper, a win-win situation.

Everything is for the box office for profit.

Sometimes I can't scold anymore, and I have to keep my head low, and he can bend down.

After all, he is a great director who has climbed up from the bottom, and his bottom line is not high. As long as he can make money, he can do whatever he wants.

Brother Chen Kai, who is also a great director, is completely different from him.

Brother Chen Kai came from a family, the second generation of directors, his father is a great director.Whether the movies he made failed at the box office or were scolded as bad, he couldn't do Feng Xiaogang's rascally cursing.

He thinks he is an artist, and he always has the airs of a literati.

Gu Wei simply looked at the news, but didn't take this matter to heart.

Feng Xiaogang wants to hype, and he can also cooperate with it, all for the box office of the movie, to make money, not to be fooled.

Sure enough, during the road show in Shanghai today, a reporter asked Gu Wei
"Director Gu Wei, what do you think of Director Feng's remarks at the premiere of [Private Order]?"

Gu Wei smiled and said softly
"First of all, as a new director, it's normal for Director Feng not to know me.

Secondly, I have confidence in my film. The previous box office data also proves that "Detective Chinatown" is an excellent film. I am not afraid to compare with anyone, and the result will prove everything.

Although Gu Wei didn't mention his name, his speech was enough to make the reporters very excited.

What the media likes most is this kind of tit-for-tat confrontation between the two sides, so that there will be explosive points.

On the 17th and 18th, the national box office of [Tang Tan] was 4956 million and 4654 million respectively, a slight decline.

Gu Wei's previous remarks were also reported online by the media, but Feng Xiaogang did not respond for two consecutive days.

It was not until the day when [Private Order] was released on the 19th that the media broke out Feng Xiaogang's response.

#新人小子 uttered wild words, [private order] will let him see what a real comedy is! #
Gu Wei was amused watching the news on the Internet, Feng Xiaogang's intention of hype was too obvious.

But Gu Wei didn't reply anymore, the topic had already been heated up, and the heat he wanted with Feng Xiaogang was already there, so it would be meaningless to fight again.

Gu Wei can cooperate with Feng Xiaogang to hype, but he also remembers what Feng Dao said about him, he is not a magnanimous person.

As he said to the reporter before, Director Feng would be slapped in the face in the end.

The original time and space [Private Order] was indeed a success at the box office, with a final box office of 7.19 million.

Compared with the cost, it must be a big profit.

But when the movie was released, there were no strong box office competitors. Just like last week's "Tang Detective", the theater screening rate was as high as 56%, so it was able to achieve such a high box office in the end.

Now that "Detective Chinatown" is showing such a hot movie at the box office, the film schedule must not be comparable to that of the original time and space.

In terms of word-of-mouth, [Private Customization] is actually the second part of a movie [Party A and Party B] that Feng Xiaogang made a long time ago, which belongs to old wine in new bottles.

Many viewers didn't buy it, and the film critics were polarized. In the end, the Douban score was only 5.9 points.

On the 19th, on the day of the release of [Private Customization], the theaters arranged 45% of the films for it, which fits Feng Xiaogang's identity as a great director.

And its box office on the first day was 6354 million.

Affected by this, the screening rate of [Tang Tan] dropped to 28%.

The box office of the day was 3102 million.
